Following outreach earlier today, Alec Baldwin wrote the following to GLAAD:

"My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation. My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libelous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend's funeral service. As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologize.

I have worked, periodically, with numerous marriage equality organizations, especially over the past couple of years, to achieve the very rights that gay couples are earning by recent court decisions. I would not advocate violence against someone for being gay and I hope that my friends at GLAAD and the gay community understand that my attack on Mr. Stark in no way was the result of homophobia.

Many Thanks, Alec Baldwin."

GLAAD Vice President of Communications Rich Ferraro replied, saying:

"Alec Baldwin is making it clear that the intent behind his tweets does not excuse his language, especially at a time when there were 11 incidents of violence against gay men in New York City just last month. As we all work to end such senseless acts of violence, allies like Baldwin are right to use these moments to reinforce support for the community and LGBT equality."

I think he supports the community because it makes him feel better, This isn't the first time that he has made gay slurs, and I don't think it will be his last. I used to have alot of respect for him, but not anymore.

While his attack on Mr. Stark may have had nothing to do with homophobia, his chosen language has everything to do with it. Seriously, Mr. Baldwin? Contact me. Having been a gay man on the receiving end of more than one such attack in my lifetime, I'll be glad to explain to you exactly how it does.
